N. J.. s> second-cUAS mail matter. »9MSATURDAY. APRIL 25. 1903. What U Back Of It ? • There are persistent rumors nli<mt that there iabeing a stuilitsi effort made to convince the residents and tax payers of Cape May that the water ami sewage plants of this city are non paying departments of our city government, ai d that they ought to be disposed of to private corporations, such is the fact, ought not our people get together and take precautionary measures to prevent the town from being robbed of its principal source of revenue, the water works ? For some time the very same people who in IKSii tried to steal these works from the city for their own gain

been reiterating the

praciced at that time, i. e., that the town was going l>ehind financially and to save the credit of the city it ought to sell these works and square oil

who were then

provoking. They

saddle again and are gobbling all the

the growing debt. That these same schemers, led by an arch conspirator,

icn trying to ruin the

resort’s credit, should be at it again is

. They appear to be in the

petty « bidding, and are sucking the public pap in a way that is not being noticed, but will be astonishingly noticed when the statement appears showing the receipts and expenditures of the treasury for the year 1903. The time nprevent tnis wholesale extravagence is at the beginning, and not after it has been spent and can not be gotten

back.

These plunderers seem to be moving

when Uie public sentiment is aroused it mything I jf the . intended

When city, officials stand up and say e Cn|»e May City water works e not paying, they are simply telling what is npt so. Ami they have a purpose in saying so.

A United Party. Some of the newspapers of the upper part of the State and the Camden and Philadelphia journals are saying that there is a great lack of harmony in the Republican party of Cape May county. Some 6f these papers are getting their information from Democrats or else from Republicans who want Democrats chosen to office from this county next Autumn. The party was never more united than now. Some of them are afraid there will be a long campaign for the senat' rial nomination. Such can hardly lie. Assemblyman Crease will be candidate wjien the proper time arrives, but he evidently is not doing any campaigning, or else he^vould not start for California to be gone until July. Senator Hand who has Served a term as Sheriff, one as Assemblyman and two. terms or six jtears in the Senate, has not announced that he is a candidate

so. Nine tenths of the Republicans of the county today arc for the elevation of Assemblyman Cr««e. both \ because ol the custom to send the akseidblyman to the Senate, and because he bps been a good assemblyman. The strength of

The Deadly Cigarette. From The Philadelphia Telegraph His excellency Franklin Murphr, the estimable Governor of the neighb oring State of New Jersey, is in trouble again, trouble more vexatious even than that which liefell him when he made his famous deliverence in favor of the Trusts, at the opening of the Legislative session last January. Governor Murphy vetoed the Ami-Cigarette MU passed by the legislature, for the reason, among others, that his own aon is addicted to the cigarette habit, and has escaped ail injury therefrom. But the experience of the mothers of other Iwys in the SUte has not been so satisfactorily, and the women of New Jersev are' now berating the Governor for his inconsiderate action. Governor Murptiy had a hard time of it with the politicians when ht declaimed in favor of the Trusts; he is now haring a worse time of it with the anti-cigarett* ladies, who threaten to make his life a bunien as long as be occupies the Gubernatorial Chair, and possibly even l>eyond that

Crispi again took the helm, and the career of the new premier was considered at an end. The prime minister is exceptionally tall and thill, usually badly dressed, with a stoop about his shoulders, but a power in the cabinet much above the ordinary. At court he is no better liked than the minister of the interior, although the king supports and values him above all. Last Christmas, as is customary, he and the cabinet asked an audience of the queen's mother, who replied refusing, saying that it was too noon after her husband's but that event had notpreventfrom receiving the Snr cabinet one year earlier, fou: after King Humbert's death.
